Cult movie Slc Punk! is getting a sequel, 16 years after the original debuted. The 1998 film about an anarchist punk living in conservative Salt Lake City, Utah is set to receive a follow-up titled SLC Punk 2: Punk's Dead.
The original film's writer/director James Merendino made the announcement on Tuesday (06May14), and also revealed its stars Devon Sawa, Michael A. Goorjian, Adam Pascal and James Duval will return to reprise their roles. Merendino did not mention if Scream star Matthew Lillard will return as the main character, Steven 'Stevo' Levy.
The director also revealed he has launched a campaign on crowd-funding site Indiegogo.com to help finance a major concert scene on 20 June (14), with headliners including Screeching Weasel and The Dwarves, and over 2,000 SLC Punk! fans in attendance.

Actor Devon Sawa has become a father for the first time following the birth of his son. The Final Destination star's wife, Dawni, gave birth to a baby boy named Hudson Sawa on Thursday (09Jan14).
Announcing the happy news on Twitter.com a week later (16Jan14), Sawa writes, "I love him. He's my little pride and joy."
The couple announced the pregnancy in December (13).

Final Destination star Devon Sawa is set to become a new year (14) dad after revealing his wife is due to give birth in a month (Jan14). The actor and his wife Dawni are expecting a baby boy in the first week of January, according to his publicist.
The 35-year-old star broke the baby news on Twitter.com on Monday (02Dec13) by posting a photo of the nursery he's decorating with the caption, "Room’s almost done."

As the end of the Nikita season finale neared, things were looking hopeful. Even though the President of the United States was dead, and Nikita was taking the public fall for it, the team was together and ready to fight to expose the truth of what Amanda had done. Michael and Nikita were alive and together, both having just narrowly escaped death. The remaining Dirty 30 agents were all dead. Division was (finally) blown to bits and the team was at a safe house. They had a tough road ahead of them but they were ready to get to work.
And then Nikita ran. She couldn't put her friends and loved ones "in the line of fire" for her anymore. She left her engagement ring on the window sill and slipped out while everyone was enthusiastically planning a way to clear Nikita's name and find out just how Amanda got the president to kill herself and frame Nikita (while unbeknownst to them, Amanda and The Shop had actually kidnapped the real president back at the international summit last episode, and planted a clone that committed suicide and framed Nikita). When Alex, Ryan, Birkhoff, Michael, and Sonya realized Nikita was no longer in the room with them, Michael knew instantly what was happening. He ran after her, calling her on her cell, but she was long gone, and her cell phone discarded. He found the ring, and the tears started flowing.
"Mikita" has weathered so much this season, from Michael's son with another woman to Nikita chopping off his hand. Even in Friday's finale, Nikita almost lost Michael when he volunteered to have his heart stopped for 20 minutes to kill all the nanotoxins in his body so Amanda couldn't trigger them and Nikita wouldn't have to go through with killing the president. When they tried reviving him, it took too long, and when the music started swelling it looked like we had lost another major Nikita player (RIP Sean Pierce, I'm still not done mourning you!). I'm not going to lie, I was sobbing. There was no way after suffering from heart failure for longer than 20 minutes that Michael would survive, and even if he did, there had to have been some brain damage, right?
But miraculously, Michael gained conciousness with a witty one-liner that let everyone know he was alive and well, no brain damage at all! Everyone was happy, safe, and ready to clear Nikita's name... except for Nikita.
We've seen Nikita struggle with letting go and working as a team the entire series, and even when we thought she might finally let her guard down with her friends and fiance, she reverted back to Season 1's Nikita. Setting off on her own will certainly make it harder for her to clear her name, but she never could truly allow her loved ones to risk their lives for her. She always tries to solve her problems on her own, as we've seen in many previous missions.
As we head in a shortened, and final, Season 4 (six episodes, to be exact), we can sure as hell expect Michael to hunt down his future-wife, force that ring back on her finger, and help her clear her name, whether she wants him to or not. But knowing Nikita, and how amazing she is at disappearing, he might have a tough road ahead of him. If he can find her, will "Mikita" ever be the same again?
We'll have to wait until the final six episodes of the series air to find out the fate of Michael and Nikita, as well as bad-guy-possibly-turned-good-guy Sam (no longer Owen), Alex's new role as a UN spokesperson, and Amanda and The Shop's plans for their presidential hostage. Until then, time to go back and re-watch Season 3!

The big moment has finally arrived on tonight's Nikita: Nikita (Maggie Q) and Amanda (Melinda Clarke) in the same room, together for the first time since Nikita was forced to chop off Michael’s (Shane West) hand to save his life as a result of Amanda’s actions. This entire season has centered around the cat and mouse game Amanda has played with Nikita and Division, and last week featured her betrayal of longtime love and ally Ari Tasarov (Peter Outerbridge). In tonight's can't-miss episode, "Reunion," we'll watch Amanda attempt to kidnap Ari’s son Stefan to use him as leverage. But since he is still in Division’s protective custody, Ari begs Nikita for help. However, Stefan’s bodyguard manages to capture both Nikita and Amanda, and the two must work together to escape.
Whoa, Amanda and Nikita have to work together? We told you tonight’s episode is a can’t-miss! With both the big bad of the season and our heroine captured — plus severely raised stakes — don’t expect all of your favorites to make it out of this season alive. Dillon Casey, the man behind the Navy SEAL-turned-Division agent Sean Pierce, warned Hollywood.com that there will be some major casualties. "A lot of bodies are going to start hitting the floor," Casey reveals. "Nobody is safe."

We've always known that Nikita is a high-stakes show, with characters dying all the time. But will one of our favorites be among the casualties? "I can’t tell you who is dying, but I can tell you that at least two very important people will be dead by the end of this season," Casey says. How’s that for a reveal? Time to start the speculation: who isn’t going to make it out of this season alive? We hope it’s Amanda, but something tells us we’re going to be shedding some tears for someone on the good side of Division...
Casey also mapped out the plan for the rest of the season: the focus is now firmly on taking down Amanda before she takes down Division. "The Dirty 30 has been put on ice for a while, because Amanda’s taking stronger action against Division," Casey says. "She has risen up as the main villain that they have to face now, and she wants to take down Division — take down Nikita — [using] whatever means necessary. She is the number one person they have to worry about."
And even though Division has a lot of expensive technology and resources behind them, it will take a lot more to defeat the nefarious Amanda. "She has been planning this for ages, so they have to face being a step behind for a while," Casey says. "There is a lot more asking the question, 'does the end justify the means?'"
RELATED: Dillon Casey Tells Why 'Nikita' Turned His Character Into a Nintendo-Loving Stoner
That question has been a plague ever since the good guys took over Division. What happens after Division has taken down Amanda and the Dirty 30? Do they keep it running, or shut it down?
"[Division] has too much power and not enough accountability," Casey says. "It's always on a slippery slope, and it always comes down to the morals of the people running it. So Fletcher now has a lot of power in his hands. Whether or not Division’s a good or a bad thing is fully dependent on his decisions."
And now that Division's one ally in the government is dead (thanks to, surprise surprise, Amanda), that slippery slope of using Division for good or evil has even higher consequences. "For the President, the only way to shut it down is to kill it, and kill everybody involved," Casey says. "As an illegal operation they could decide to go rogue and essentially become terrorists. It’s mutually assured destruction between the President and Division. [At] any minute they could decide to wage war on the other."
But the one thing keeping the uneasy alliance in check is the one thing they are working together to take down. "It’s like these two people who wished the other didn’t exist, battling against a common enemy," Casey says. "It’s the common enemy that keeps them both going. It keeps them allied. And that common enemy is Amanda."
So what do we think — should she die, or is Amanda's life too important for the rest of our heroes? Let us know in the comments below!

Sean Pierce is not a happy camper. When we last saw our favorite Navy SEAL on Nikita, Division had just faked his death after Amanda (Melinda Clarke) framed him for the assassination of the head of the CIA, making him a true member of Division. That’s right, the reluctant volunteer agent is now stuck in the last place he ever wanted to be. Dillon Casey, the man behind the SEAL-turned-Division-agent, is quick to talk all about Sean’s plans for the near future, including his new penchant for drug use – and not wearing any underwear.
"Actually, in the next episode he gets into weed," Casey says. "He’s hanging out in his room hitting the bong and playing Nintendo. But that only lasts like a week." Let’s hope Division has plenty of Cheetos handy, because Sean’s munchies are about to get out of control.
All jokes aside, Casey couldn’t stress enough just how unhappy Sean is in his new situation as a full-time Division agent in tonight's all-new episode, "With Fire." "He doesn’t really have any choice. He’s a part of Division now whether he likes it or not," Casey says. "I guess he doesn’t have to fight for them. He can just walk around complaining and eating their food and leaving a mess if he wants, but I think he will go stir crazy after a while."
Thanks to Sean’s past as a Navy SEAL, he feels an obligation to do something, anything, even if that means joining an operation he never agreed with in the first place. "He’s a Navy SEAL. These guys are nonstop energy. If people are out on a mission in the field, he is going to go crazy not being a part of it," Casey says. "And he’s also got Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca), he’s got to watch her back. So he needs to be involved in one way or another. Right now he’s sort of processing this extreme change that’s happening in his life and he’s trying to let go of any resentment he might have towards anyone who helped put him in this position and move forward and help out in a way that he can. While he’s here, he can make the best of a bad situation and put his skills to work."
RELATED: 'Nikita': Devon Sawa on Owen in Love, Zombie Person, and the Opposite of a Bromance
Trying to make the best out of a bad situation is also a good way to describe his relationship with conflicted girlfriend(ish) Alex, since this new situation is going to put more than a little strain on them. As if they didn’t have enough problems already, Alex and Sean are going to be facing their own personal struggles now that they’re both in Division full time. “Is Alex happy ever? The warmest scene we’ve had of [Alex and Sean] besides the sex one was the one that happened in ‘Black Badge,’ when they’re in bed together. And they’re even fighting a little bit there!” Casey says. “So Alex, as much as she has Sean around now that she’s got full access to the guy, feels a little bit guilty because she feels like if she had left Division a long time ago, back when he said she should have, then this wouldn’t have happened. Sean’s life wouldn’t have been thrown upside down.”
And it’s especially hard for Sean to adjust to life as a Division agent because he never truly belonged there. “Everyone who is a part of Division is there because they’ve made huge mistakes in their lives. They’re convicts, they’re kind of bad people who were given a second chance,” Casey says. “He is the most well-intentioned, and, for lack of a better word, the best person on the show. He’s a Navy SEAL, he doesn’t have a criminal history, he hasn’t really done anything treasonous. He was pulled into Division against his will and for that reason he harbors a lot of resentment for the place and everybody involved and that includes Alex as well. So between her guilt and his resentment they’re headed into another rough patch and they’re going to have to find a way to work it out.”
Another wrinkle coming up for Alex and Sean is... Owen (Devon Sawa)! While Owen and Alex may not have anything romantic going on, there is definitely reason enough for Sean to be jealous of Owen in tonight’s episode. “He just doesn’t like the guy. He knows who Owen is, this ex-cleaner, and Sean is just disgusted,” Casey says. “He dissolved bodies in acid, not a very honorable job, and despite the fact that Owen now walks around acting like he’s this good guy, I don’t think Sean really trusts him.”
RELATED: You're Going to Need Tissues for Tonight's 'Nikita'
Of course, the fact that Alex is now partners with Owen doesn't help. “Now that Sean is injured and he can’t go out in the open because he’s supposed to be dead, Alex’s new partner becomes Owen, and Sean just doesn’t trust the guy. He’s like, ‘Who the hell is this guy who’s taking my spot?’” Casey says. “I guess it is a little bit jealousy because they’re both alpha males when it comes down to it. He works hard to keep Alex alive and have her back, and now all of a sudden he’s lost complete control of her and he has to give it up to this douchebag.”
All in all, Sean does not have much to be happy about when we begin tonight’s new episode. “He wakes up in Division and he’s going stir crazy,” Casey says. “When he was facing the charges of murder and treason, he was facing the death penalty or a life sentence in prison. Now he’s five hundred feet underground in this secret organization with a shoulder sling on and he can’t go out in the light of day. So he’s still basically in prison. Sean is going crazy, while Alex has to go out in the field with Owen, so it’s a whole new world for him. He would rather put his life at risk than be safe at home, if it means being able to protect Alex, so new tensions are arising.”
But one treat that fans can look forward to tonight? “I think he takes his pants off,” Casey teases. “He goes commando. These guys actually do go commando.”

From Our Partners:25 Most Scandalous Celeb Twitpics (Vh1)33 Child Stars: Where Are They Now? (Celebuzz)

Get ready, Nikita fans: The CW has been keeping the return of a beloved character under wraps — until now. Devon Sawa tells Hollywood.com that the Friday, Feb. 1 episode, "Survival Instincts," will have you screaming, "I didn't know Percy was coming back from the dead as a zombie! What?!"
Okay, fine, that was a joke. "That doesn't happen," Sawa clarifies. "But it could! You never know."
Here's what will happen on this week's episode, which sees Owen and Nikita (Maggie Q) team up in the field once again, now that Michael's (Shane West) hand injury (understatement, yes) has forced him to take an operational role once again: "Owen is in a new world," Sawa says. "He's used to working solo. He's used to doing things brutish and thuggish, and he's now learning to be a team player. Michael's kind of coaching him through it. The first scene in this episode is in an art gallery, and Owen would never be in an art gallery. This is Michael's world. Michael's the guy that knows what drink to order at the bar, and what to say to the ladies, and how to be undercover. Owen's trying to listen to him; he's trying to figure it out. Michael is trying to coach him."
But yes, there is a little bit of tension in the air now that Michael and Nikita are having some relationship problems. "There's some tension going on because of course Michael doesn't want his fiancée off on missions with this guy," he says. But in Sawa's opinion, there's nothing going on between Owen and Nikita. "Owen has a lot of respect for Nikita. They have a past; they come from the same world; they're both trying to figure out this Division thing. I'm far ahead and in my opinion, there's really no romance going on. They're just partners and friends."
Well, what about Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca)? Sawa says that in an upcoming episode, she and Owen will finally get a chance to bond. "That's their first time kind of out in the field, and they're two really strong characters. We're stuck in a car and we're getting to know each other. That's kind of fun. There's going to be a couple more missions with Nikita, and there's some big Ari stuff coming up."
In the Alex episode, the ever-serious Owen might even let down his guard a little bit. "Alex is one character Owen doesn't know very well. The episode that we're going to do, they have some laughs, they go out, and he's beginning to get to know her. He loosens up. Alex and Owen have a conversation where Owen kind of attempts a joke, and it's funny only because it was awkward. It's a cool little car ride. What makes it interesting is that Sean is listening to the whole thing from his head set, so he starts getting a little bit concerned about Owen as well. So Michael and Sean are concerned at different times."
Frankly, Sawa thinks Owen has better things to think about than romance. "The main thing on Owen's mind is trying to find Amanda so he can figure out his past," he says. "I don't know whether he's looking for love. He doesn't know who he was. The woman on the top of his list is Amanda. That's who he wants to find because he's got questions for her. I think that Michael and Nikita are pretty safe in the next few episodes. I don't know what's going to happen in the future. I think they just throw Owen in there to create a whole bunch of ruckus. It's all coming from a good place, I think. He's not trying to destroy. He's not Susie Homewrecker or anything."
As for male friendships, Owen and Sean (Dillon Casey) will have their very first encounter in tonight's episode. "It's the first time Sean and Owen ever meet. They meet in a very awkward place. There's all this stuff going on but they both pick a moment to look at each other, size each other up, feel each other out. We have some exchanges along the way that are a little bit tense and heated because we're both thuggish dudes. It's the opposite of a bromance."
Nikita airs Fridays at 8 p.m. on The CW.

Everywhere you look these days, you see a troll. Okay, that's not really true. It's not like trolls are Whitney Cummings or Joseph Gordon-Levitt movies. (Or are they?) But thanks to The Hobbit: How the Hell They Gonna Make This Into Three Movies, we're going to be paying a lot of attention to trolls. Well, at least as long as The Hobbit dominates the box office, which could be years.
But what does this renaissance of trolls say about you? In celebration of The Hobbit, we're going to boil down what your favorite troll says about your personality. Think of this like a Magic 8 Ball, without yes or no questions. Okay, it's nothing like a Magic 8 Ball, but it's still fun! So, let's go:
J.R.R. Tolkien's Troll
You have waited in line for so many midnight premieres of movies that the girl who sells the popcorn knows your first name. (She has a crush on you, you know?) Your favorite holiday is Halloween and you dress up to go to work and everyone at the office thinks that's kinda creepy until you show up in the awesomest getup and then they all think you're really cool for a day. So, in celebration, you eat from the candy bowl for the first time all year. Your mom really doesn't like it when you stay up all night playing Xbox.
Community's Troll
Hi, I am one of those people who only likes things that other people don't like or things that other people ignore because I have a deep-seated need to feel superior to people because my education and professional prospects didn't really work out and my snobbish opinions about pop culture are all I have. Hi, I have an OKCupid profile and I wonder why more people don't respond, but then I'm really mean to those who do, so I don't know if it's my fault or theirs. Maybe I just take ugly pictures. Wanna go see The National together?

If you shut off The Bachelor and put down the Pinot for one second, you might realize that you are so skinny that you are wearing a child's dress and that your boyfriend is never going to marry you. Face it, sister. It's bleak.
Troll Dolls
Things were so much better at the Jersey Shore when you used to win these playing Skee ball and went home and put them on your windowsill while you listened to 98 Degrees and pined away for Devon Sawa. Things were so much easier then. That's why you're always refreshing BuzzFeed, reading stories about Boys Meets World, and buying all those Lisa Frank binders at Urban Outfitters. Time marches on, but your troll dolls — they're frozen forever.

Backstreet’s Back, alright! Or at least they're about to be in just a few weeks time. The popular '90s boy band, Backstreet Boys, announced today on Good Morning America that they will perform on the morning show’s Summer Concert Series on Aug. 31 — three months after member Kevin Richardson announced his return to the group. “We’re going to be coming to perform for you guys on August 31,” A.J. McLean said today during the live GMA interview. “The first time together, all five of us.”
As many dedicated BSB fans already know, A.J. McLean, Brian Littrell, Howie Dorough, and Nick Carter have spent the last few years touring with their heartthrob predecessors: New Kids on the Block, but much like the ingredients to your Grandmother's famous pumpkin pie, it just isn't the same without all the ingredients. Now that Kevin's been added back into the mix, it's a recipe for success (is anyone else now excited and hungry?)
The group also revealed their plans for a brand new album (set for release in spring 2013), along with announcing that they will soon be honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles. Did you feel that? That's the sound of former-teenybopper tourists collectively sighing in relief. Check out the video interview below:
video platformvideo managementvideo solutionsvideo player
So in honor of this (albeit temporary) BSB reunion, the writers of Hollywood.com took some time to recall our favorite memories of the prominent boy band and get back in touch with our teen-girl side (no judgements please).
Throughout middle school, I was pretty much an equal opportunity boy band lover. Whether it be BSB, NSYNC, 98 Degrees — you name it, they were posted somewhere on my wall. But the Backstreet Boys always held special significance thanks to a 7th grade dance competition where my friends and I got together and choreographed a spectacular dance routine (if I do say so myself) to their popular song "Larger Than Life." Not only did I have the best time rehearsing, but we even came in second place (right behind a Spice Girls number). I may or may not still know the dance moves to this day. — KELLY SCHREMPH
I've documented time and time again my preference for 98 Degrees, but the Backstreet Boys have the distinction of being every 1990s teenage girl's first. Because — despite the later popularity of *NSYNC, among others — Backstreet Boys was the first on the TRL scene, and the first to cause hormone-fueled insanity. Who wasn't a Nick, Brian, Kevin, or AJ girl? (Sorry, Howie. No one was a Howie girl.) And who didn't have at least one Backstreet Boy poster on their wall? I might have outgrown the Backstreet Boys halfway through listening to Black &amp; Blue, but the five guys still manage to put a nostalgic smile on my face. After all, my go-to karaoke song is "I Want It That Way," naturally. How can you not appreciate the key change that launched a million screams? — KATE WARD
One of my first concerts was a Backstreet Boy concert. I had Nick Carter's pictures covering my walls, like any fan-obssessed crazy pre-teen. And then a few years back, I finally got the chance to interview Nick in real life. It was like 13-year-old Lindsey's wildest dream finally came true. — LINDSEY DIMATTINA
My first BSB concert was when I was....26. Yes, I waited about a decade too late to see BSB in concert, but I couldn't pass up the chance to see New Kids on the Block and BSB. No kidding, it was one of the best times I've ever had a concert. Unlike so many shows I attend, no one there acted like they were cooler than the performers on stage. Everyone was there to just dance and sing and relive their teen years. It was pretty magical, actually. — ALY SEMIGRAN
As an avid TRL watcher during my teen years, my friends and I used to absorb a ton of boy band history and trivia. Both good and bad, BSB definitely took the MTV audience on a journey with them. From the high points, with the debut and countdown domination of I Want It That Way (which my friend Colleen still argues is the best boyband song....ever), to their somber mid-TRL appearance to announce that AJ was going to rehab, (the latter featuring a tearful Nick Carter wearing a "Grabbabootie and Pinch" shirt.) They were the first to completely fill the streets outside the TRL studios with screaming and crying teenage girls, and who could forget Tiffany, the crazy rage-filled BSB fan who jokingly(?) threatened Carson's life when she came in second in a TRL competition to find BSB's biggest fan. They're the boy band that just won't die, and here's hoping there's many more catchy pop singles coming our way. — KELLY SCHREMPH
And to prove that even non-fans can still have BSB memories:
I know my favorite Backstreet memories are those times in which, as a stubborn *NSYNC fan, I would debate my cousin, friends, random girl on the bus about who was the better band. My go-to justifications included the fact that “I Want It That Way” reminded me of the Burger King slogan, Nick Carter was a poor man’s Devon Sawa, Brian Littrell looked like a baby dinosaur, and that Chris Kirkpatrick’s pineapple head was a better quirk than A.J. McLean’s collection of leopard print cowboy hats. All of which were pretty solid arguments, if you ask me. — KELSEA STAHLER

Notes

"One casting director told me, 'You're the next Leonardo DiCaprio,' and when I heard that, I said, 'Let's talk about how I don't want anything to do with being like Leo.' He's an amazing actor, but the films we're pushing to do are different. I'm going my own way. In a big way." --Devon Sawa to Vicki Jo Radovsky in MOVIELINE, July 1997
